December To Dos:

• Keep mulching your perennials.

• Secure ties and supports for evergreen shrubs to avoid breakage from snow.

• Check that burlap or netting is secure, so trees and shrubs are shielded from winter burn, snow/ice, wind and deer. Remove coverings in late winter/early spring to prevent overheating.

Container Planting Ideas

During winter, replace current container plantings and window boxes with fresh flowers to add color throughout your property. Check out a few suggestions:

Flowers & Berries

• Pansies & Violas – Vibrant, hardy annuals

• Snowdrops – Delicate white flowers bloom through snow

• Snapdragons – Shorter options are great for container plantings

• Holly Berries – Add bright, lasting color
